>>94942026I dont know if he really did get envious or if he cares about morty, because that platform that morty goes on was designed for noobnoob, as seen by the video that plays.
I don't know why rick got drunk, and the video for noobnoob seems to make it seem that it wasnt based on envy or caring for morty.
Vindicators is a good episode of RnM, just not one of the best ones in my opinion. It's probably just my personal disillusionment with super hero films, and this kind of parody.
Sure we get new information about the characters, but it's less of showing, and more of telling.
I think the reason I don't rate the episode that highly (and I'm writing this while watching it again) is that a lot of the episode is discussing the dynamics between the characters that only show up in that episode.
Compared to other episodes, like the rick and unity episode or the evil morty episode.
We havent seen evil morty again, and we havent seen unity again, but the episodes give us information on the dynamics between our main characters and once-off characters.
The vindicator episode is largely the dynamic between once-off characters.
I think the postcredit scene about gearface is more interesting than the dynamics between the non-main character vindicators, because gearface seems to be a recurring character.
Every episode explores new parts of the characters, without having character exploration.
For example, the ricks must be crazy.
There isn't anything we learn about rick or morty that counts for major character progression. And the B plot doesnt have character progression for summer really.
We already know rick doesnt give a fuck about "real universes" like the cronenberg earth, so its not really a surprise that he'd destroy a miniverse.
The part of that episode I enjoy is the interaction of rick with other characters AND the concept that they explore, and Zeep is a pretty interesting once-off character, unlike the vindicators.
